Closing in on the phenomenon of superconductivity with a two-dimensional atomic gas

Using an exotic quantum superfluid that originates in a two-dimensional atomic gas, researchers from Heidelberg University are closing in on the phenomenon of superconductivity. The team headed by Prof. Dr. Selim Jochim of the Institute for Physics is using this special gas as a model system to more easily study the largely unknown mechanism of the...

3D nano-images reveal 'bicycle spoke' structure of heart cells that may hold key heart attack clues

Newly released images revealing the ‘bicycle spoke’ structure of a heart cell may hold key clues to reducing damage from a heart attack. Research by Dr Ashraf Kitmitto and colleagues, from The University of Manchester’s Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, provides new information as to why some cells don’t work properly following a heart attack....
